WOMD 105 l How to Buy “Investment Grade” Collectible Watches & My Favorite Lange

[@magicman4478]

big respect at you roman for real, I like you that I find you like a trustfull man,not a greedy dollar troll.

[@thomashenry1327]

Love ur material. Would like 2 chime in (as an "economist") on the issue of "investment" and the nomenclature/terminology (i manage money). It is NOT an investment. Investments give partial ownership to cash flow positive projects. What remains extra gets given back to the owners (dividend). I would break down the watch sector in 2. First; STORE OF VALUE. Second; the speculative side. Store of value: ur basic rolex steel subby. Speculative play; anything without a deeply liquid mkt. Maybe RMs?

[@andy9953]

Beautiful AP, so far I've had a few Rolex's , hulk, batgirl, black gmt and im currently considering getting either a 116500ln panda or a royal oak. Great video once again Roman!

[@AbdulRWatches]

That AP looks amazing, definitely agree with you on this one is a better buy than the Nautilus Baguet. I think the Roger Dubuis is around 18k? That Lange is the best travel watch hands down, I would love to get a Datograph someday. Couldn't agree with you more on the watch investment point of view, I would say it is the most fun investment that doesn't bring you monetary increase as much as passion satisfying feeling.

[@bekind1784]

That AP RO is stunning...love the gold with brown dial. Thx for sharing...appreciate the WOMD content today!

[@mk007.]

$225k

[@ashtondbrown]

I don't like diamonds on watches but that AP looks Awesome on you wrist. Absolutely AWESOME 👍

[@gaeleus]

Good points my man. Like your comments re: watches are toys. Not investements or terrible investments. I think people like you (resellers) are the only ones set up to make a profit. For the regular Joe Blow- better investment vehicles. Nonetheless, watches are the thing now and it would seem people are interested in the hype

[@Tigerkill3r]

Love your channel! Just got myself my first very serious watch for my personal collection and I think you might like it: It's a 1995 Two Tone Royal Oak 14790 in 36mm. Not the hottest atm, as it is Two Tone but i love it! (And the price was quite fair) Best thing is, it goes insanely well with the watch i inherited from my granddad: A Omega Seamaster Polaris Multifunction from 1990 (also a Genta designed piece)

[@watchesandcaps2566]

36mm is pretty much womens size

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

Take that $13,500 that was spent on a solid gold Rolex Submariner in 2002 and let that cash compound at a modest 5% for the next 18 years, today you would have $32,500. If it was a little more aggressively invested in an S&P 500 index it would be an average of 7.6% return per year and that money would be worth $50,700. Across Crown & Caliber, eBay and Watchbox a 16618 goes for between $16.5K and $24K. This "investment" cost between the owner $8,500 to $16,000 (@ 5%) and $26.7K to $34.2K (in an S&P index) in lost opportunity cost. This is before taking in to account the hit the seller took when he sold it to a dealer, servicing costs, any potential insurance the owner had on the watch over the years, etc. Hell of an investment guys, lol. Just Roman always says, WATCHES ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT!

[@fuzzywuzzy3619]

at least he could wear the watch and enjoy it. its a physical asset that can be used and not loose any money. an investment in pleasure

[@wuaw2011]

RD tag said 22558 or 25588 (if you skip first number) so I'm thinking that's either the selling price or your cost of it. If I'm close then either way that's a lot of watch for the money

[@cliveb15]

Fascinating, love the sub, great show as always ⌚️👍

[@dmitryfishbeyn1455]

LOL number 4 death ..... does that mean number 8 is gonna end up in China? Stunning AP! Absolute an eye candy. RD @ $35k no cheating I swear. Lange looks like the BMW, GERMAN! It's too much for me personally. I'm more of the Saxonia guy, It's simplicity is it's beauty. @ 16:34 I'm willing to call it, it's the condition and completion of that Rolex Sub, and it's outstanding. My live commentary on your WOMD episode, I'm changing my comment format. Le me know how I did on the RD price, I'm not checking on LB site. Thanks, always a fan of your work. Stay well guys.

[@almoscola8684]

Yet another phenomenal video with incredible content, thank you!!!!!!! I am waiting patiently for a BLNR but your videos make me think my decision over and over and over again :0)

[@ams54321]

I found this to be one of your best videos Roman, very interesting, thanks.

[@stupitt6989]

$35,000 for the watch. I really like collectable videos!! Need more of them

[@Coltrane45]

Blind guess - 34k. Let's make it like a 'guess the # of gumballs"; whomever gets it on the nail is the lucky winner. Great pieces, love the lange - had the Buenos Aires for a couple years, very useful complication

[@andrecandela2117]

Your reason for choosing AP over Nautilus make sense considering it is a tourbillon. I agree 1000%. However, right after you put the watch on your wrist I realized that you are wearing a "cheap" cloth with an expensive stamp! Would you buy a cheap plastic bracelet with AP stamp that cost you $2000?

[@mrp9498]

Great set on that gold Submariner

[@miguellourenco9799]

Amazing video as always Roman! Diferent but great!

[@robertmontano8026]

Masterclass video. Thanks Roman!

[@aaronmj9455]

Very interesting video. Please keep them coming👊

[@miguellourenco9799]

Hi Roman, I think that for you to be saying that the RD must be seling between 35 - 40 000$ but if I didnt recognised your tone I would have said still retail price.

[@JB-xt3ly]

Love that Roger Dubuis! Great video as usual.

[@brightthings6074]

You the best Roman keep going

[@olegvinokur1602]

I flinched when you smacked the book and then threw it down twice 😬

[@simongoddard8490]

Another great video, you are generous with your knowledge.

[@Walterliquori]

i still cant wrap my head around a 250k watch they are beautiful but dam how do you give up that much dough

[@Chris-es3wf]

People spend far more on cars that depreciate like a stone. It's a store of value for those with tens of millions that you can also wear on your wrist.

[@Walterliquori]

@@Chris-es3wf i get the philosophy behind it .i do pretty well and couldnt part with 10k for a watch and i really admire them too.if i was filthy rich i guess i would help people pay off their house instead.that being said not my money so not my business

[@watchesandcaps2566]

@@Walterliquori you have to be very wealthy. If you had a couple hundred mill in the bank you would understand better.

[@oxysoxos]

No one can accurately predict and controll the market. So, at the very least we all should focus on what's acually within our control: Keeping our stuff toghether including EVERYTHING that comes with a watch. Great way to maintain money retention.

[@chavebomber]

Still smashing it roman

[@fransker13]

I would love to know your opinion on the new Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automaitc chronograph... They are very aggressively priced, but are they well made?

[@adamengdahl5291]

Great video, very informative about the collectibility of Rolex sub. My guess would be 90k.

[@timecapclips7774]

it be awesome to see a Rolex watch maker on your show

[@checksix_TC]

Thanks for sharing. I learnt alot fromyou today.

[@zacklariviere816]

Investments don’t always have to come with a monetary profit, so I would have to disagree with you, that Yes watch’s actually are Investments. Your investing in the quality, the joy the timepiece gives you, an heirloom that can be passed down from generation to generation, and yes some do proceed to go up in value, and yes I know that the value is never guaranteed to go up and can come down at anytime, but so can anything els. Property value goes down, stocks can go down. If that’s the case then monetarily their is no such thing as investment. But yes my opinion watches are 100% an investment. But still love your channel bro just my unimportant 2 sense.

[@SimulatorWhiz]

Unnecessary essay

[@MrInzeo]

I really like that gold Daytona.

[@nishilshah3970]

Great video! I guess 20-25K for Roger dubuis

[@silicon_hairspring]

Roger dubuis looks great! I'd venture it's valued at 30k

[@buddastud5534]

The roger dubruis is gonna sell for 7,500?

[@menaseven9093]

I like the old ass Rolex Submariner gold with blue bezel. Wearing this Rolex will make me feel like wearing real money like a gold coin or a gold bar. I like the Audemars Piguet Limited Edition Baguette Tourbillon. My favorite complications are the perpetual calendar and the GMT that is why I like the A Lange and Sohn. I think the Roger Dubuis watch cost $20,000, I think it is a collectible watch because it was created when Roger Dubuis was alive. Nice teaching on the gold Rolex Submariner packaging. I think the original owner of the Rolex was obsessive because he kept all the paper works even the receipt of the Rolex.

[@johnpaulduru473]

Am happy I began an online Investment with Martin last year, this year has been a very wonderful one for me, I earned $35,000 after the close of last week's trade.

[@leonardokessler6057]

Martin Williams is a loyal character and very easy to understand, I have built trust with him since December last year. I thought it was a scam. But he kept to his words and paid me $7000 after my First trade.

[@elmoreschroeder2990]

I love Martin Williams trading platform because of the ease of payment he offers. He pays me directly into my bank account or into my Bitcoin account here in Los Angeles without stress.

I actually tried to sell mine to someone in your staff and it was as complete as this with the original receipt. I wasnt happy with the offer and ended up trading it for a black dial 166520 Daytona and money in my favor

Re the Sub... unless you’ve found yourself really hard up. Why would you let go something that’s been part of your life for the past 20 years? It would be like selling your 7 year old pet dog?

[@dustinsweeney688]

My guess is 35k. Thanks for the knowledge

[@krisa5896]

For once Roman said something I disagree with. A guy who sells a $100K watch for $200K is a crook who doesn't deserve to be in business -- not a good sales guy. Sorry, this one is non-negotiable.

[@hectorrios5402]

Your a 100% right I would take the AP as well. 🍾🥂’s 25-35 on the watch.

[@stevenwest4668]

Love that AP. RD $24,000

[@brucelee9941]

Why when I post a watch online I get the worst low offers and shit talking about my watch is not worth that much. It's a 1966 Solid Gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date beautiful mother of pearl face with diamond dials, Presidential band 14k Gold. Only asking $7000

[@chavebomber]

20k for the roger. No cheating. I’d prefer a Daytona. Hate RD.

[@diamonddabla]

RD market value $30k?

[@MrTdayo]

That roger Dubais watch would cost anywhere from $30,0000 to $45,000

20g’s for the RB

[@shivabhinav]

How much profit did he make?

[@watchesandcaps2566]

Bigger margins, less sales works great for Ferrari.

[@maik-]

15k for the square one

[@itstime5390]

28k. Now I have to go look.

[@danisheverblue]

RD price guess - $19,500

[@zacklariviere816]

The RD probably going for 20k

[@jurje007]

RD: price is probably 25-27 Thousand dollar.

[@spizzenergi2292]

Sometimes numbering does increase the value of the watch. I remember Montblanc fountain pens (patron of the arts collection) numbers 8. 88, and 888 went to the Chinese market for inflated prices, as did number 1 which went to Dubai.

[@jblack1979]

75k on the RB

[@martinnewton1984]

I would guess at 24k for the RD

[@robertlulek1634]

I just don't get it with Richard mille.a zero-g gravity watch even in gold is so impressive compared to a Richard mille it looks so much more valuable. Looks crazy and yet it will drop like a brick in depreciation.I think people are just so arrogant they want to pay a lot of money just to say they have something no one else can have and they are willing to overspend it at least 30 times more than what it's worth.Richard mille watches are okay watches I wouldn't want to pay any more than 50,000 for 1.I do not believe they're worth more than that

[@mrpercival11]
